' A still further object is toprovide a sput I and receptacle connection in such a manner that reversal of the parts is possible so that the swaged portion may be arran ed within the container or upon its outer Face as desired.' 1 7 It is likewise an object to provide a sput attached to a receptacle in such a manner et arranged beneath the will overlap the joint and rest partia y upon the receptacle body portion thereby positively preventing leakage."

Other objects will be in part obvious an in part inted out hereinafter.

In or of operation may be readil understood by persons skilled in the art, I have in the ac compaiying illustrative drawings and in the detaile descri tion based thereon, set out one possible embodiment of the same.

In these drawings:

Fig. 1 is a central vertical section showing the connection between the sput and a receptacle, the packing gasket and plug being shown positioned thereon.

Fi 2 is a bottom plan view showing the angu ar formation of the sput bod and the similarly formed depression in t e receptacle, and, I p

Fig. 3 is aside elevation of the sput; and

Fig. 4 is an end view thereof.

Having more particular reference to the drawings throng ters of reference desi ate similar parts, this t e joint will entirely eliminate leakage and im roved sput may stated; as comprising prevent the least bit of movement f the a iiod portion 5 having formed theresput. g

"It is quite obvious that should it be dethroug a substantially centrally positioned 6 in which is, adapted to be threaded a p ug 7 which is of the usual construction and includes an enlarged annular, rib or shoulder 8 beneath who is placed a is of a s lghtl eater diameter than the aforementione s oulder This s ut 5, as "shown provide upon one end portion it the drawings is with an aner that the invention and its mode out which similar characpacking gasket 9 which preferably nular groove or channel 10, having one wall 11 inclined outwardly as shown in Fig.1,

the other. or inner wall of the channel being formedby an upstanding or longitudinally extended annular'rib 12, which as shown is adapted to'be turned over or swaged upon the flange formed around the opening in the receptacle. In providin the receptacle with the openmg, t e meta is stam d outwardly. or inwardly as desired an forms a depression 13 which is provided centrally with an opening in which the sput is adapted to be arranged. The metal forming the bottom wall of this depression is stamped inwardly near the edge of the opening and then again turned and extended in a plane with the main body portion .of the receptacle, this arrangement and formation of parts permitting of an assembly as shown in Fig. 1, in

d which the gasket- 9 entirely covers the joint and positively prevents leakage around said 'oint.

In the usual assembly of sputs and receptacles or containers of this type there is a tendency upon insertion or removal of the plug, for the sput to turn with the lug independently of the rece tacle, resu ting in a loose and of course lea joint, and in the impossibility of removing the plug with facility. I

In order to overcome this fault, I have in the formation of the depressions'in receptacles deviated from the usual construction, in that I make the depression angular in formation and provide the sput body with a similarly angled annular ri or shoulder 14 as is shown. It is very apparent that this construction. will sitively eliminate the relative turning w ich has heretofore been rpllite common and with proper swaging at sired to arrange the swaged portion within the receptacle, that the reversal thereof is easily possible. Due to the formation of the broad or wide bearing surface upon both ends of the sput 5, I may insert the (plug 7 from either end, the gasket 9 being a apted for use with the plug in either event.

Manifestly, the construction shown is capable of considerable modification and such modification as may fall within the scope of my claim, I consider within the spirit of my invention.

A receptacle wall hav ng an outwardly offset then forming a epreseion, the outer wal of the de reseion being non-circular, the bottom we] of vided with a central opening and having a portion adjacent the ope a non-circular sput snugly fitting the dethe depresion being pro-.

ning bent inwardly,

p ession, and having an annular rib extendmg thru the opening and swaged upon the inwardly bent portion, the outer non-circular of thesput being in contact with theouter wall of the depression in the plane of the race tacle wall around the offset port on', whe y the sput cannot turn without distortingthe receptacle wall. In testimony whereof, I a'flix my signature.
